That "feud" between Stephen Colbert and Olympic speedskater Shani Davis? It was an actual thing, believe it or not, hard as it is to imagine there being anyone left on the planet who doesn't know better than to mix it up with him. Lesson learned: Don't mess with the Colbert Nation, or they'll ... raise a quarter of a million dollars on short notice to fund your trip to the Olympics?
